Because Your Wedding is Special

A wedding Minister or Officiant is a critical part of your special day.

Why risk disaster with just any internet ordained minister? Why not go with someone who has 25+ years of experience officiating at weddings throughout our area. I love helping you with this critical milestone. I have been told my prices are quite reasonable.

I graduated from Southern Illinois University in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. In 1981, I also graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary (http://www.wts.edu ) in Philadelphia with both a MA degree and M.Div. I have served as Pastor in Delaware continuously since 1981. I am married and have two sons. Besides church work, I am involved with several local non-profit groups.
